Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦21,130 to pay you ₦176,080. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.60 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24% tax rate now rises to 32.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦2,112,960 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦506,992. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,605,968 per year, or ₦133,831 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.0% and your marginal tax rate is 29.3%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of ₦100 in your salary will be taxed ₦29.30, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦70.70.
